A talented young musician has won his first Mòd competition after overcoming a stomach bug on the morning of the contest to bring home the silverware.
Ten-year-old Alistair Adamson, of Lanark, won three trophies in the under 13s accordion competition at the AK Bell Library in Perth as part of this year’s Royal National Mòd.
The Forth Primary School pupil, who began playing the accordion four years ago aged just six, was up against five fellow accordion players at Soutar Theatre to take home the Gold badge as well as the Smith Mearns Trophy and Daniel G R Burt Memorial Trophy.
